cypek Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Its kind of hit'n'miss with those. It may zip, it may not. I have 3 jackets and none zips with my trousers lol. Also they all have different zips between them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susieque Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Generally speaking, you need to get the same brand if you want them to zip together. But you say it's a Triumph jacket - is it their own make or have another clothing company made it for them? If so you could well get away with buying that make of trousers.Also most manufacturers will supply the other half of the zip with the trousers/jacket, so you can take a different pair to a place that does the job to have the zips made compatible. Does that make sense?????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susieque Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I would be surprised if the actually manufactured it - just got their logos etc on it. Maybe try & find out who makes the jackets etc for them then you could buy that brand trousers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bullet5 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Go to dunelmand buy a zip. Then rip off the current ones and put the new one on. -- Yes time to get out Mr thimble, and his partner, Mrs Needle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadtorque Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 triumph jackets (new) usually come with both half's of the zip, so you can change the one trousers if it's not a match to the jacket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
